*Closing Bell*
A highly volatile session was observed at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday, with the KSE-100 Index remaining under pressure amid evolving geopolitical developments. The market opened negative, but early optimism over expected U8.S.-Iran talks pushed the index to an intraday high of 585 points. However, sentiment reversed sharply after reports that the Iranian delegation may not participate, dragging the index to an intraday low of 4,712 points. Later, some recovery was seen after news that U.S. President Donald Trump, in a call with General Asim Munir, considered Pakistan’s input on the Strait of Hormuz, helping the index recover partially. The market closed at 172,197, down 1,742 points (-1.0%). Fertilizer, Cement, Power, Banks, and DFIs were the main laggards, dragging the index by 1,325 points, with FFC, HBL, HUBC, LUCK, and ENGROH among key decliners. Market activity weakened, with volumes down 10.0% DoD to 1,296 million shares. BOP led the volume chart with 120.85mn shares traded.
